Against the Wind
Defying Conformity: Moya Brennan's Anthem Against the Wind
Lyrics
A wall strong in numbers
A collective force, united and formidable
Burns the midnight candle
Engaging in prolonged effort or work during the night
The brave arm in arm
Courageous individuals standing together
Stands before them now
Confronting challenges directly
Up against the wind
Facing adversity and opposition
Old ways up against the wind
Challenging established norms and traditions against resistance
The game is in their hands
The situation is under their control
Calling out the colour
Announcing identity and unity
Togetherness their courage
Strength in unity, emphasizing their bravery
Recognize the power
Acknowledging their collective strength
Make a stand before them
Taking a stand in the face of challenges
Old ways follow the beaten track
Adhering to conventional paths despite difficulties
Against the wind
Confronting challenges, especially rooted in tradition
Against the wind
Emphasizing the struggle against adversity
Defying their leaders
Resisting authority figures or leadership
Holding out for free will
Insisting on the importance of free will
The strong dare to echo
Those with strength boldly repeating their beliefs
Nothing can stop
Asserting that nothing can impede their progress
Nothing can stop us now
Expressing confidence and determination
Up against the wind
Facing challenges, especially entrenched ones
Old ways up against the wind
Challenging established norms against resistance
The game is in your hands
They have control over the situation
Reach for every moment
Seizing every opportunity for advancement
In rising generations
In the upcoming generations, embracing change
Capturing the change
Embracing and adapting to societal transformations
Make a stand before them
Taking a stand in the face of challenges
Old ways follow the beaten track
Following conventional paths despite difficulties
Against the wind
Confronting challenges, especially rooted in tradition
Against the wind
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle against adversity
Against the wind
Persisting in the face of opposition and difficulties
Against the wind
Continuing to face challenges against the prevailing forces
